CBS President Les Moonves' wife, Julie Chen, wanted a daytime talk show similar to The View. Julie fancies herself another Barbara Walters and hubby dearest wanted to help her. They couldn't cancel YR because it's the top soap ratings getter, and BB is only a half hour long, not enough for Julie. So ATWT was Les's sacrifice for his wife. She isn't satisfied with being one of a group on the Early Show, she knows Big Brother isn't all about her, so she needed something that would put her center ring.

I HEARD THAT A TALK SHOW LIKE THE VIEW IS GOING TO REPLACE AS THE WORLD TURNS THE HOST ARE SARA GILBERT, HOLLY ROBIONSON PEETE, SHARON OSBOURN, LEA REMENEY, AND SOME CBS CEO'S WIFE. I WILL NOT BE WATCHING THIS SHOW WHILE I LIKE ALL THEESE HOST EXCEPT THE CEO'S WIFE NEVER HEARD OF HER. AS A LOYAL FAN OF AS THE WORLD TURNS I WILL NOT WATCH I HOPE ALL FANS OF AS THE WORLD TURNS WILL DO THE SAME. CBS SHOULDN'T OF CANCELED THIS SHOW. THE SHOW BROUGHT HOME BEST ACTRESS, BEST ACTOR AND BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS AWARDS THIS YEAR THIS SHOW IS NOW THE LONGEST RUNNING SHOW ON TV, INSTEAD OF CANCELING THE SHOW CBS SHOULD BE PROUD OF THIS SOAP AND SUPPPORT IT. I WILL GIVE AS THE WORLD TURNS MY SUPPORT BY NOT WATCHING THIS NEW SHOW THAT TAKES THERE TIME SLOT.

She got Big Brother cuz she is the wifey. BigB was her brainchild supposedly.

Her show is going to be called The Talk, I think is what I heard.She just wanted something that would fit into her schedule now that she is a new mommy and get this the show is about mommies and babies/children. Give me a break. There is no reason to have an hour long show about babies/children and how to raise them. After the first season you've covered everything, it's not rocket science.

I will be starting to watch One Life To Live again, which I haven't watched since I was very very young.

Kim Zimmer is going to be on OLTL now and Jerry(Ross Marlar) is already there I hear so that is what my TIVO will be recoding after the 17th of September. Will be good to see what has happened to the Buchanans and everybody else in the town of Landview was it.

I don't care what they put on in place of atwt, I will not watch it. I hope it gets caned the 1st week on. It doesnt matter to me, boycott it. Sorry I'm still in shock that they are canelling my soap, that I have watched for 54 years!

I will not watch what ever they put in ATWT time slot just as I do not watch what ever is in G&L time slot. If CBS poor showing at the emmeys is any indication they are going down hill fast. The only show they have now is the Good Wife.

I have watched ATWT and GL for 53 years and I am so sorry to see them go. I don't know what CBS is thinking. No matter what they put in it's place I will not be watching it. I hope that everyone does the same. Maybe CBS will rethink what they are doing and not cancel this show. A lot of us have grown old with these people. They are like family.

last year i read on soapcentral when CBS was canceling guilding light that procter&gamble want out of soap business. procter &gamble said the ratings were always goodand qre with as the world turns. procter and gamble delibertly mase the ratings bad by giving the cast realy bad storylines that fans would not watch. they said they will make them so poor and bad that fans wont want to watch and make them turn to another chanel so they could cancel guilding light. now there doing the same with as the world turns and next year the B&B is next and then they will start makeing Y&R ratings bad next and CBS has gotten rid of all of there soasps. by 2012 Y&R should be gone. have you also notice that CBS is canceling as the world turns september/17 the same as guideing light?
